What a difference a week makes. The Celtics were all doom and gloom following their fourth quarter let down to those pesky Cleveland Cavaliers. Flash forward a few games and the Celtics are once again riding a significant winning streak.

Enter the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Bobcats enter tonight’s match-up with an 11-game losing streak and a 3-21 record on the season. Usually, this would be an easy night for the C’s, but given the current state of the NBA and the past history with the Bobcats, no game is a sure thing.

All-time, the Celtics are 18-7 against the Bobcats. Last season, the teams split the season series at two games a piece.
